Consumption Tips

It is recommended to consume foods that are only from animal origin such as dairy, meat, and eggs since they are carb-free.

Make sure you consume dairy, meat, and eggs until you’re full in order to prevent any other food cravings.

You should consume enough fat as it can keep you full longer and boost your energy levels.

Eliminate any sugary foods and beverages from your diet. In this way, you can also reduce your sugar cravings.

Have a low-carb meal whenever you feel hungry and avoid counting calories.

You should consume water instead of juices. As mentioned previously, unsweetened coffee, Seltzer waters, and unsweetened tea are in the group of zero-carb beverages. For optimal results, make sure you choose the low-carb beverage that works the best for you. But, keep in mind that water should be your primary beverage. Therefore, consider drinking a lot of water throughout the day.
